Mark Zuckerberg expressed frustration after reports of the gov't using Facebook to track people

Most people are unhappy with the government policies on evading internet usage privacy. This was after an expose was brought about by Edward Snowden on the National Security Agency gathering information techniques via internet. Some of us can only complain a little—but not with Mark Zuckerberg.

The Facebook founder did a little more than just sit around and complain about these “information gathering policies.” Zuckerberg called the US President and had a talk with him directly.

On Thursday night, the White House confirmed that Barack Obama and the Facebook founder discussed “recent reports in the press about alleged activities by the U.S. intelligence community.” This was according to report fromWired.
In a post on Facebook, Zuckerberg expressed his thoughts which said, “I’ve called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform.”

The frustration of the social media platform giant owner was aggravated after a recent report that the National Security Agency had been masquerading as a Facebook server to inflict computers that are listed as targets.
Zuckerberg continued, “I’ve been so confused and frustrated by the repeated reports of the behavior of the U.S. government. When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we’re protecting you against criminals, not our own government.”
